‘Swamp Thing’ Series Produced by James Wan in the Works at DC Universe (Cancelled)

[manyfaces]

3 episodes in this shyt is really good, and they carved out their own lane in thr gluttony of superhero shows. Leave it to dumbass exec's to stifle creativity for more Cookie cutter bullshyt.

I haven't even watched a episode yet. . .and it's cancelled?

What the fukk?!

Someone explain.

Warner Brothers is a ship with no direction. How can you execute the DC Dark universe or properties and be afraid of horror elements? They wanted it to be a beat em up? Imagine if Marvel fired the Russo's because they didn't like the spy thriller treatment of Winter Soldier.

ATT/Warner Media are the ones responsible, WB are ones who got DC Universe off the ground in the first place. But you're right about no direction, they literally have no one running WB since they fired their CEO in March. Which is probably why ATT did what they did

ATT (WBs bosses) didn't like the direction the show was going and it was expensive to produce so they pulled the plug.

ATT probably wants some shyt like this

They don't know what they have. Swamp Thing is good enough for HBO and to be the next True Blood.

That's exactly how I feel about it.

This got cancelled how long ago?! I literally just found out listening to Kevin Smith's show today.

But I also heard this on the show... J.J. Abrams Said to Be Near $500 Million Deal With WarnerMedia

JJ Abrams + WB + DC

There’s a Chance We’ll Get a ‘Swamp Thing’ Movie!

Late horror legend Wes Craven directed the 1982 adaptation of Swamp Thing based on the Vertigo/DC Comics character of the same name created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson. A sequel would be released in 1989.

30 years later, we’d get a new television series from DC, Warner Bros., and James Wan‘s Atomic Monster. Even with the near-full support of the comic/film/critic community, the show was canceled just a week into its first season. While we won’t get into the details of it all (just click the link for a recap), it left a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouths. Even with the season being released in full, it feels as if we’ve been robbed of Swamp Thing’s resurrection way too soon.

Thankfully, there’s chatter that this could flip into something positive – maybe even a full-length feature film based on the iconic DC character.

We Got This Covered is reporting that Warner Bros. may develop a Swamp Thing film. “The initial goodwill around the DC Universe series and the backlash against the cancellation seems to have inspired the studio to consider doing something with the character on the big screen.” They’ve been told that this wouldn’t be a continuation of the show, however, and would feature a whole new cast. They also note that producer James Wan would be involved.

Bloody Disgusting can confirm the validity of their report and the addition that it would be a horror movie, although it should be stressed that this report is astoundingly premature. As of this writing, it’s just internal chatter. With that said, there were creative differences behind the development of the DC Universe “Swamp Thing” series as it was initially developed as a straight-up horror show and eventually transformed into a procedural thriller. This is true. This is factual. Warner Bros. taking the character and doing their own thing without that of WBTV’s involvement is how we’ll get something special, something the character deserves after 30 years – especially if Conjuring Universe producer James Wan puts his stamp on it.
